Is Warner changing to DTS-HD Master Audio too?

Yep, authoring these discs is what I do... Granted, anyone can buy the DTS Audio Suite, but I am using a company-supplied copy (it's not cheap, $1500 I think...). To my knowledge, their software is still the only encoder available that does DTS-HD MA (as I believe Dolby's software is the only TrueHD encoder currently available...).

No, there wouldn't be any benefit. Once it's 16-bit, you can't get any added quality by converting it to 24. It won't hurt anything, but it won't help either.
